Advice
Hello,
I used to work for large general contractors in Los Angeles for about nine years. I eventually moved to a subcontractor that offered me a strong salary, and I genuinely enjoy the work. The projects keep me busy, and my professional growth within the company has been good so far.
Still, I keep feeling like I’m missing something. Part of me wonders if I’d have better long-term career progression if I were still with a general contractor.
Another challenge is our limited team size. I’m often stretched across multiple projects at once. While I don’t mind being busy—the days go by faster—it means my focus is divided, and some projects inevitably get less attention than they should.
Do you think I’m missing something real, or am I overthinking it?
